Before you start these revision questions you will need to prepare yourself by

Making your Revision outline

How to study Science
1 make a glossary - every topic has a guide sheet - in the guide sheet there is a list of words and terms you should know -
2. Collect your notes - the guide sheet is a course outline that lists the main concepts you should learn and the main activities you should do. You should build your notes from your text and your notebook - but make sure you have information on each of the ideas listed in your guide sheet.
3. Sumarise your notes - a good summary will include diagrams and experiments that summarise the key concepts of each topic
4. convert all this into a concept map - you are aiming to get it down to a half page for each topic. Don't worry if yours is a bit bigger

Before the exam - get friends to test you on the glossary,
try to redraw the diagrams in your summary
complete and test or practice questions

Use assesson test yourself for each of the topics we have done so far.

21. Physics of motion

22. what 2 measurements would you require to determine the speed of an object - s the distance it travel and the time taken to travel the distance = S = distance/ time
23. how is velocity different to speed --- Answer---the velocity has direction usually measured in m/s v= displacement / time
24. how is distance different to displacement
--- Answer---
the displacement is how far you are from your starting position in a straight line - distance is the overall length you have travelled ( it may be in a circle)
25. how do the units of speed (km/hr) indicate how to measure speed?
--- Answer---
the km represents distance / hr represents time
26. when you accelerate what is constantly changing?
--- Answer---
the velocity is changing acceleration = (final velocity - initial velocity) / time
27. what are the units for acceleration?
--- Answer---
the units are m/s/s

speed = distance /time sub in the values 22/0.5 =44m/s
29. List Newtons three laws and any formula that are associated with them.
--- Answer---
1st- a body will stay at rest until a force acts on it ,
2nd F = ma,, A force is created by a mass being accelerated - F =ma and a = v - u / t,,,
3rd For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction, - F= ma and momentum = mv

30. A year 8 student described a force as a push or a pull - is this correct? give 4 examples of different types of force.
--- Answer---
gravity, electrical, resistance, lift,
31. How is force different to energy
--- Answer---
Energy is the ability to do work it provides the power for the force to do something = e.g. GPE and gravity
32. In an accident crumple zones increase the time for the car to come to a complete stop. How does this save lives?
--- Answer---
- slows you to a stop slower than you would normally come to a stop. Therefore deceleration is slowed and transfer of V >1 to V=0 is slower and time for energy to be changed to sound and heat and not all transferred to the body of the driver
33. what is deceleration?
--- Answer---
slowing down
34. draw a velocity time graph and on the same graph to show acceleration, deceleration and constant velocity
--- Answer---
go here to see examples of these types of graphs

35. Why does an astronaut move backwards if they throw a spanner forward -
--- Answer---
every action there is an equal and opposite reaction - i.e. the astronaut would move backward in proportion to the force the spanner is thrown and dependent on the mass of the spanner and the astronaut.
